By the Way

Who have you become?
I’ll show you my destiny.
You thought I’d be different,
or maybe you didn’t think at all.
Are you jaded, too?
I built a wall of shame
taller than our differences,
but I doubt you awaited my climb.
Perhaps I shouldn’t judge you.
Let’s remove our wigs and gavels.
Time is too dry for any more bricks.
We can just be people now.
Old friends.
The flame’s still alight, by the way.
Just wanted to say.
